Open to all, but there is a fee. <br /><br />http://www.lis.illinois.edu/academics/programs/cpd/genealogy<br /><br />Course description: This course covers the basics of family history research, which is a very specialized field. We will examine sources used for family history research, both print and online, as well as methods of assessing, compiling, and presenting information extracted from the sources. You will learn about a variety of sources including home sources, government documents at the local, state and federal levels, and non-governmental records, such as church records, city directories, local histories, and newspapers. We will also cover how to organize and store research, and how to share it. Finally, we will discuss the major providers of genealogical information in the U.S. and strategies for providing good service.Marianne Steadleyhttp://www.lis.illinois.edu/academics/programs/cpd/genealogynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-691016683378293851.post-74486065655186775442012-08-15T19:33:45.772-04:002012-08-15T19:33:45.772-04:00Lisa,

Their most recent one was in June, so maybe they&#39;ll start up again for the autumn. Their webinars are at http://www.ancestry.com/cs/us/videos<br /><br />Thanks for gathering this list!

Here are two more sources of webinars for your list that aren&#39;t listed on the Geneawebinars.com calendar:<br /><br /><a href="http://www.gagensociety.org" rel="nofollow">Georgia Genealogical Society</a> (GGS): The society sponsors a monthly series of <a href="http://www.gagensociety.org/webinar_schedule.htm" rel="nofollow">webinars</a> which are provided free to live webinar participants at 8:00 pm (Eastern time zone) on the third Monday of each month. Recorded webinars (and handouts) are archived on their website, in a members-only section. About 1/4 of the webinars are on topics specific to researching Georgia ancestors while the others would appeal to a very wide audience.<br /><br />Although I have never lived in Georgia, I do have Georgia ancestors. The GGS webinars on Georgia records and resources have been extremely helpful to me.<br /><br /><a href="http://www.rootsmagic.com/webinars/" rel="nofollow">RootsMagic Webinars</a>: The folks who created the RootsMagic software offer free webinars, usually on topics related to using various features of their software. However, they&#39;ve offered two free webinars by Lisa Louise Cooke: <em>Google Earth for Genealogy</em> and <em>How to Find Your Family History in Newspapers.</em> All 40 of the webinars they&#39;ve offered so far are archived on their website and access is free to everyone. It looks like they&#39;re planning to schedule some new webinars, although the schedule isn&#39;t posted yet.<br /><br />Here&#39;s a tip for using the Geneawebinars.com listings: I subscribe to their calendar in my personal Google calendar and then turn on the email notification feature. That way every time a new webinar is added to the calendar at Geneawebinars I receive an alert in my inbox and the calendar listing (which includes the registration link) is available in my Google calendar.<br /><br />Kathy Nitschkathyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11166362672078735260noreply@blogger.com
